Greetings comrades,

Last night, a successful campaign was waged against enemies of the Imperium. The xenos and heretics were routed, and sent fleeing into the countryside. However the casualties sustained during the campaign were rather... staggering.





According to the endgame statistics, I lost over six thousand guardsmen, along with two Baneblades, two Shadowswords and a Warhound titan.

T-tell me Dakka, should I just blow my brains out now and spare myself the humiliation of the firing squad, or will victory be enough to save me from the Commissars?

Victory knows no cost. Each man died for their Emperor, so none have died in vain.

Which mod is that and how did that game last to get that high of a kill count?

I think it's ultimate apocolypse for dawn of war: soulstorm

This probably shouldn't be in the background section.

Aside from that, it's a trick! See the Obliterators?! The Defilers in the background?! They're heretical traitors! Purge them!


Also, were you playing multiplayer or solo?

Six thousand guardsmen? That's amazing! They usually lose more to accidents during deployment. Medal for you.

The baneblades and the titan, though? Yeah, those things are valuable. Firing squad for you.

And those 2 or 3 Grey Knights, dead? Yeah, firing squad for that one as well.

Success is measured in blood; yours or your enemy´s.

I'd say you were pretty succesful.
And remember: No man died in His service that died in vain.

Barely worth a run around the barracks.

Life is cheap in the Imperium. Super Heavies are not

You are going to repent for the loss of the Titan and the Tanks a servitor most likely
The Guard won't complain because of 6k, the cog boys however...

I am curious... Did this game lag horribly? Where you playing online or with AI players?

I have Dawn of War Soulstorm, with CornCob's FunMod, but I'm looking to get Apocalypse mod next.

The video footages of your engagement may contain evidence of heretical cooperation between Imperial units and highly dangerous forces Traitor forces. The material is being processed by your high command to the nearest competent authorities. Please don't try to quit your current location and wait until black vessels come to meet you.

It can be a bit laggy, but if you have an actual gaming setup you'll be fine. I had to drop my settings from high to medium-low for the units, otherwise they glitch out and parts of them disappear, leading to headless Unclean Ones and floating rocket launchers for guardsmen. It's actually pretty funny to see, while frustrating at the same time.
